another fall day

Warm, tantalizing Sunday. My older daughter and I set out for some of my favorite autumnal outposts. The girl’s deprived. It’s a paved world, out there is DC, where she lives.

I am only now (at midnight) recovering from the pace.

Let me try to pick out the essential pieces of the day:

Ice Age Trail by the Wisconsin River




Ski High Orchards

Somewhere near Oregon, Wisconsin

Then came the cooking. Favorite autumnal recipes. Hurry, please, people are hungry.

At midnight it all stops. Or almost stops. Finishing up the post... Yawn... A new week. Yawn. Well rested, ready for the challenges... Yawn... Stretch those tired muscles. Such a pretty autumn we're having...
